best friends

Dedicated to Dani California

 

 

 

Come with me to the oldest lighthouse on Erie Harbor, and view the sunset
amidst a raspberry lemon sky.

Share with me your secrets as our tanned legs dangle over the wooden
pier, and our polished toes flirt, splashing in the golden water while we
share a bottle of deep red wine.

We both know the truth and taste each other's pain without inhibitions ~

 

without boundaries...

 

You understand how much we both detest...

 

black

and

white

borders.

 

As I view your jade eyes and gently remove a strand of soft brown hair
from your precious face, I realize that we belong with...

 

the water...

 

the sand...

 

the wind...

 

And I kiss away the tears from your past...

 

 

 

Author's Note

I wrote this one a while ago. However, Dani has become one of my dearest friends on the cafe, and each time I read it, I think of her. This is about pure, unconditional friendship.

Just a lovely moment beautifully expressed with pulses of imagination that literally colour the page. You have a very visual intensity about you which perhaps mirrors you own perceptions and certainly gives vividity to your expressions...if that don't sound too poncy! But damn it it's true! It's also great to see the contrast between your jagged pieces. And there is a reality about the piece, which acknowleges that life causes tears. But the moment is a beautiful one. Enjoyed the read.

This is according to me the best piece of writing of yours..I was literally flowing with the emotions in it! The imagery in just outstanding and the formatting is also so great and it is even enhancing the overall flow a lot!
This is a kind of work with which I guess most of us could relate themselves with.
Brilliant work! I loved it! :)

Nice poem. I like how you use different colors in the poem itself and in the words you are conveying. I like the imagery as well. good job.

what a painted moment in time that I could get lost in. so beautiful! nice vision! The only thing I would suggest is making the font a tiny bit bigger. I understand maybe wanting to keep it small, but the color sometimes makes the words hard to read, unless it's just my eyes aging. lol

peace,
Danielle

Oh baby your words bring out suh compassion and warmth... and what a deep and trusting friendship you two must have shared... it's so great to have someone that you can feel that intimate connection with... your writing shines brighter then ever when you show your deep emotions... thats why you are one of my favorite writers and one of my first attractions to you.
